i THE SUN. - • SOLLM S JjS DICIRZ TALLIII.7M AUDLAT ,N D N. rk* . WEDNESpipi . JULY 25, 1810 We shall rejoice most sincerely, to find that this account is correCi, but we cannot suppose that a detachment of or 8000 men, which NEY is said to have made, could have so far weakened his army to render it necessary for him to raise, or even to suspend the siege of so important a place as Ciudad Rodrigo. As we:have received many ingwries respeEting the INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE, which we ori ginally, acid . exclusively, gave to the Public, we think it necessary again to assure our Readers that they may depend on its 4utheuticity.—We closed the whole yesterday. • We are gla,l to find that a. general spirit of con tempt and indignation has arisen against Sir FaAN- IionDETT, for the indecent levity, to use the enildest term, which concluded his answer to the persons_ mit, nr tted him to a dinner, in order to celebrate his. release from prison. Even his friends ursidcr it us a mark of great iiiitliicretion, and those Wlio do not understand his chant(ter and dispo. induced to consider the letter which ap pearvd under nis signatore as a forgery. He has been exposed to much ridicule as well as censure on the bject, but ridicule is too light fur such a serious libel upon Government, as the intimation that they might dra N out the army with a train of artillery, no! only without due occasion, but for a purpose that cannot be mentioned without severe reprobation.— \Va., it to attack roast beef when the soldiers were called out to defend the metropolis, convulsed as i t wa,, by a violent mob, whom Sir FRANCIS kept many days as,embled during the time that he -was practising his deception on the Serjeant at ArMs Were the military drawn forth to attack roast beef wt,et) a mud) greater mob were colleEted from all ,fuarers of the town, on the liberation of Sir F.• tid when to have left the capital unprote&ed by ./ military farce, would have been a criminal negleil • the part of Government, even without any know- AI Al LS. A" i, Waterford. Due—t Lisbon, i C h adiz, I Wa terford. We last nic , fießceived Pans Papers to the 21st inst. from which we have made some extracts rela tive to the state of the war in Spain. The details are'net given in an official form, as usual, but mere ly as an abstract of correspondence, so that they may be alteredbr coloured at pleasure. We think BUONA rmus acts wisely in ceasing to publish the official reports of his Generals, because it is impossible that they can be received with any credit in France. The people of France have been told, for these two years past, that the Spaniards could not stand for a moment before French troops,—that they fled at the very sight of them,—that they were equally de"titlite . ef disCipline and of courage ; but yet the war is net terminated, this nation of cowards is Mill unconquered. Immense numbers of troops liatiebeen sent into Spain, BUONAPARTE has exert ed all"his talents against enemies whom he has re presented as being so contemptible; he has employ ed all his best Generals against them—Soul:l', NEY, JuNoT, AuGEREAU, &c. men who routed the arinies of Austria,. Prtissia, and Rus sia, and yet at the end of more than two years, he . is..not, strictly speaking, master of much more of Spain than he was whe❑ the contest' commenc• ed - .• 14 the very otstract _of correspondence, to • which . we are now alluding, it is confessed that . the Spaniards are up in artus - in almost every Pro vince of Spain ; nay, even in Navarre and Arragon' Provinces adjoining to France. Under these cir cumstances, BUONAPARTE may naturally feel averse - to publishing the pompous Accounts of his Generals, because it is impossible they can obtain any credit. The people of. France saw that the battle. of Auster litz was followed by the peace of Presburgh—that the - battle of Auerstadt produced the overthrow of ~ the Prussian Monarchy—that the battle of Fried land produced the peace of Tilsit ; • and therefore they must naturally doubt the truth of the reports of victories in Spain, when they see them followed by no other result than that of fresh demands of troops to be butchered in supporting the unprincipled usur pation of awir Tyrant. LOUIS BUONAPARTE has gone to his brother JE 'twat at Cassel. The Spanish Ambassador is said to have received a letter yesterday from the North of Spain, which says, that NE Y bad been forced to make so large a detachment froni his • army, in ,con s;:quence of the very formidable Spanish force assem bled in Gallicia, that it was hoped be would be un der the necessity of raising the siege of Ciudad Ro derigo. ledge of the Itaronet's intention to withdraw in secrecy, and consequently to endanger all the tumults that might arse from the rage of disappointmetit.— . The man who can write in the manner alluded to, without any compunction for such condnkft as occa sioned the destruction of his fellow-creattircs, is in deed not an object for ridicule, but deserves to be stigmatised with the severest_brand of odium. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Prince of WA uts took an early dinner with the Duke of CUM.. BERLAND, at his house a: Kew, after which their Royal Highnesses rode through Richmond Gardens and Richmond Park, on their way to town. Yesterday Sir DAVID DUNDAS held a Levee at his Office at the Horse Goal ds, and gave audience to se ver& Military Gentlemen. We have received Letters from Cadiz, and the following extra& ofone, though not of a recent date, contains some interesting particulars : " CADIZ, Ju 25.-We are as indifferent ab o ut the enemy as ever. We have abundance of pri,vi sions of all kinds, and as good beef and mutton as pin have in London. Twelve thousand troops of the line', including some English, after driving the French from Ronda and Marseilles, are gone to at tack them at Malaga, whither they are fir(' in con sternation, This army will be joined by, at least (Thou Seranos, and all the inhabitants of that city.— The English have constru&ed eight formidable bat teries between Puente Suaso and Santa Petre, and the Spaniards have thi own up several redoubts, which render that quarter as impregnable as Gib raitar.- 1 The reinforcements going out to Lord WELLING TON amount, it is said, to 10,000 men. It •is thought, that in the event of the British Army bent obliged to evacuate Portugal, it will not return to England, but be landed upon some other part of the Peninsula. Extratl of a Letter from Colonel ROBERTSON, Se cretary of Government at Curacoa, to Lieutenant- Colonel Monm.LA, dated Curacoa, June 2, I 810 :- " I am happy to inform you of the arrival of a vessel from St. Thomas, which announces the pleasing telligence of Porto Rico having followed the glorious example of Caraccas." • A Gentleman of the name of BROWNE, Captain GREEN A WAY, and three seamen, - have made their escape fr,an Auxonne, in France, and fortunately reached the coast near St. Maloes ) w here th e y se i ze d a fishing boat, and stood out to sea on Sunday se'n.! night. Having a sail, but no compass, they were . compelled to go befor e th e w i n d. O n M on d ay t hey encountered a heavy gale, and had severe 'squally weather for upwards of four hours, during the whole of which time they were incessantly baling the boat with their hats, and every moment expeaed to foun der. Fortunately for them, when all their hopes had vanished, the storm abated, and, by great exertions, they reached the Cornish coast, and landed Hear Pul perro on Thursday last, in a very debilitated state, having had nothing but two loaves of bread and a bottle of water to scbsist on - during the whole of their perilous voyage. Mr. BROWNE, who had repeatedly applied for, and, been promised his release, is a Gentleman of considerable property, and is one of those persons ID shamefully •detained by the French Government, on the recommenceMentof hostilities. By asseciatipg himself with a French Gentleman, he had obtained permission to visit .various parts of France, and was every where received with a civility, bordering on kindness. He states, that through all ranks of society, for the last two years, the most ar dent desire for peace with this country had prevailed. The most important information collected trout these Gentlemen is, that vast preparations are making in every Naval depot throughout the French Empire to increase their Navy.--.BUONAPARTE having de clared his determination to have a Navy equal to cope with England. He has instituted a sort of Committee, composed of sane of the oldest Naval Officers in his . service, who are to inquire and re port to him on the causes of the repeated defeats sutThred by the. Navy of France, and the apparent su periority claimed claimed by the British. Captain Davis, of Plymouth, reached that port on Saturday from Morlaix, afterifour years captivity at .Valenciennes and Auxonne. He was one of those who helped to extinguish the fire at the latter place, for which he was rewarded and restored to liberty by order of BLIONAPARTE. A few days ago we extratied from Mr. , Lewis Goldsmith's " Secret History of the Cabinet of BUo naparte," the Secret Treaty of Tilsit, in which the reader is referred to his formrr publication, en titled, " Au Exposition of the Condua of France towards America," concerning ,the intentions of the Danes to give up their tfeeti to France ; this statement we think important to communicate to the public. I cannot let this opportunity pass,'says Mr. G. without taking notice of the Copenhagen Expedi tion, which a French Minister in my hearing term ed a Coup de Maitre en Politique.'—After the peace of Tilsit, Buonaparte wished to occupy the Danish Islands, Zealand among; the rest. 'lwo of his Naval Officers, % iz. Rear Admiral Majendie, who was in Portugal when Jonot capitulated, and formerly Captain of Admiral Villeneuve's ship, at the bank of Trafalgar ; and Captain liergeret, many • • yea's a prisoner of war in-this country in the time' of the Directory, and who was tour years ago made prisoner by the British in the Eist Indies, and sent to France do his parole, • but not exchanged to this'; day, were appointed Commissaries to superintend the equipment of the Danish fleet; to every ship' there was a French Captain appointed ; a great number of Danish and Prussian seaman; the former : taken on board of British ships, and the latter,which were prisoners of war, confined at different deriits in France, were sent froin thence to Copenhagen, escorted by French Bens d'armes ! ! Tie Danish, fleet would have been in the hands of linoniparte, • either by treaty, by•iuse, or by robbery!" It is said that Major HOGAN, whose.memorable ,barouche and Bank-notes made such a noise in the world, and who thought proper to skulk suddenly . away from this country, died in Philadelphia on the 13th of June last. It appears, that, alter leaving this country, he was some time in the capacity of a planter at Cuba; from thence he went to Washing ton -and other parts of'the'Continent, n and only ar— rived at Philadelphia almost previoqs, to.his decease . , • NAVAL NEWS.

HULL, JULY 24.••'--AVO are sorry to learn by a let ter received here on Wednesday from' Capt. Goon- WIN, of the einson, of Yarmouth, perforMing qua rantine at Sandgate, that on the sth of March, the brig Louisa, HOWARD, of this port, upset in a heavy squall of wind off the island of Sardinia, and all hands perished, except a boy and two Spaniards, who being on deck at the time, cut the stern post. t ackles. The ship went down instantly.—The Lou isa was going in ballast from Bona, in Barbary, -to' load grain at Sardinia for Lisbon. Capt. GoonwzN met the boy on the first of . April, in quarantine at Trapona, in the island of Sicily, and brought him to England with him, but does not gire his name, in the letter. SHEERNESS, JULY 24.—Sailed this day his Ma jesty's ships Aggressor and Starling with a convoy for the Baltic. The next convoy will probably sail about 7th August. The Attack gun-brig sailed this evening with the trade for Heligoland. The next convoy for that island will sail about 14th August. DEAL, JLT/rT 24. Remain in the• Downs his Majesty's ships and the outward bound as per last. Letters were yestetday received from France, containing the following commercial information : " By a decree of the I I tt2• July instant, the entry of foreign Banda, on the frontiers of Fiance, is pro hibited by sea and land. This prohibition :loci not apply to ships furnished with licenses, which may arrive within twa months with Banda, provided the bill of lading was signed conformably to the former decree." We hive been - favoured with some additional Caraccas Gazettes, and with a letter from the same settlement, of which the following is an extract : CARACCAS, JUNt 4.—The successful revolu tion which has happily taken place in this and alt the Northern Provinces of South America, has al ready been attended with the best consequence;.— The people breathe a spirit of liberty, like pri , oners unexpectedly delivered from their clidins. Ltery instant we expect to receive the welcome intelli f ;el.,e that the Islands of Cuba and Poi to Rico leave fol lowed our example, as two deputies have been nent to each from hence, with dispatches. To'the for mer an address to the Cabildo has been sent, coached in the mast persuasive terms, accompanied by, a long argument, chewing the rea,onableness of the step. The whole of this great revolution h,,s been performed with scarcely the shedding' of a drop of blood, and this i 3 owing t 9 the general unanimity with which all the proceedings were conducted. In Barcelona, however, we are sorry to say, that there is a strong party of Anti-revolutionists, who embed some disturbances when the idea was first slatted of - a declaration of independence, but they were soon silenced,,and three of them, notoriously employed by the Usurper Joseph, aud.paid by him as spies, were executed." • The Archduke CHARLES, according to an Ame rican Paper, has interceded with BUONAPARTE for the return of MOREAU, and succeeded in his appli cation, but that the latter had refused to avail him self of the permission. It is not probable that there is any truth in this story, except what implies the repugnance of• MOREAU to return. The Archduke would hardly ha►e solicited this permission, unless by desire of MOREAU, and in that case the latter was not likely to have recanted. MOISEAU knows too much of BUONAPARTU to venture into the lion's den, attar having unce escsped from it. •. .
